not sure if this is the right place?

hello,

I’ve posted here before but I’m not sure my issue is classed as depression or anxiety.

Basically I feel fat and gross, people say I’m not but I don’t believe them at all.

I’ve begun skipping meals as I feel like I don’t deserve to eat or I’m too afraid I’ll gain weight.

I’ve had issues with how I look since I was in primary school when kids and my grandparents would say how fat I was.

It could be that you are suffering from some depression but what it really sounds like is you are suffering from is low self worth and not being able to validate yourself. Food issues are a fairly common symptom of it. There is a lot of good info available for free on Youtube as well as books about how to address and heal your self-worth.

Not what you're looking for?
